We stayed here for two nights, the front desk staff is nice and friendly, but the room is very small, the bathroom is extremely dirty, the complimentary breadfast is bad! Is not worth the price!

Old Boston Hotel

Posted 14-Jul-2015

Pros: The location

Cons: update the rooms, paint them, put in new bedding, new tiles in bathrooms

Location: Right in downtown Boston- perfect location

The Boston Common Hotel has a great location - right in Back Bay/Copley area so it is easy to walk around to all the tourist spots. The hotel is old and the decor is dated. The rooms (almost all queen size beds) have old looking/tired bedding, small/not flat screen tv's, very dated bathrooms and barely enough room to move around. Note that there is no restaurant or bar or concierge service in hotel. One woman (they were all super nice) runs the front desk and appears to be the only one at the front of the hotel so if you are on hold for a long time its because she is wearing many hats.

Good hotel. Reasonable price and free Internet and breakfast. . If you can handle 1960 decor, a good value for downtown Boston.

July 4th weekend

Posted 8-Jul-2015

Pros: This hotel was convenient to everything downtown , quiet , and economical for a holiday weekend. It was super clean....under the wash basin ,doortops

We did not make a reservation for our July 4th in Boston until the Wednesday before , but we were very happy we tried a new place , the Boston Common Hotel . We were able to walk to everything for the weekend...Declaration reading and parade , harbor , fireworks . Grand time .

Basic Hotel, Great Location

We stayed for 4 nights in the hotel. It is a bit dated and you can tell it's an older hotel. However the room was very clean and comfortable. The A/C worked amazingly well. The cleaning staff was excellent and the room and linens were changed promptly. The continental breakfast was fairly basic with some toast, bagel, and pastry options, but it got the job done. The highlight of the hotel was its location. It is located minutes away from 2 different subway lines (Orange and Green) making it easy to get around Boston. Highly recommend getting the weekly pass for the T which is only $19 for unlimited rides. Overall, good basic hotel with a fantastic location for getting around the city.

Pros: location is excellent; rooms are quiet; water temperature and pressure are excellent; complimentary continental breakfast is sufficient; elevators run

Cons: carpeting in rooms could be replaced; bathrooms could be remodelled

Location: two minute walk from Copley Square; twenty minute walk from Fenway Park; subways on orange line and green line both within a couple of minutes walk; s

this is probably the only hotel I would stay at in Boston because the value for money can't be beat; check-in was very smooth and location of hotel is ideal for exploring Boston

very basic accommodations, but fit the bill for a short trip. They say wireless internet is only available in the lobby but I had a great signal on floor 8.
